3k rule applies

only to 'net capital loss' for yr 06 after having offset all ur capital gains .. eg if u made 40k and lost 50k on capital gains/losses ur net loss is only 10k .. out of that u can use 3k a yr to offset ur ordinary income .. eg if u make 10k on capital gains next yr 7k would be deducted (10k net loss minus 3k deduction) and ur net gain would be 3k ..
